parallel.waitForAll doesn't seem to work for me.

I'm working on a platformer. And I tried using parallel.waitForAll for the collision (Otherloop()) + moving (Mainloop())
And it doesn't seem to work, it's about bed time for me, so I won't be able to respond to you all, but here's the code:

Please help! (It's 12:00 over here)

You're calling the function by using Gameloop() you need to pass the function iteslf by just using the name Gameloop

To expand on that a bit:

local function testFunc()
  print("test")
end

type( testFunc ) --#> function

type( testFunc() ) --#> nil (It doesn't return anything, if it returned something, obviously this would give you that type)

The parallel API needs the FUNCTION value, so it can run the function itself.

You've also got your Gameloop / Otherloop functions calling themselves recursively. Use "while" loops instead.

I know what while loops are, I just challenged myself by making a video game without using any loops.
Platformer it is!

Also, thanks to everyone who told me how I messed up :P/>

You'll probably want to use tail calls:

-- Produces a stack overflow - too many nested functions
local function foo()
  -- do something ...
  foo()
end

-- Works fine
local function foo()
  --do something
  return foo()
end
